Media tower opponents to meet with zoning expert

Venetian Causeway Neighborhood Alliance members and others concerned with the high-rise media towers proposed to be built on top of parking garages near the Adrienne Arsht Center are meeting Friday morning with an expert on billboard policy.

Bill Brinton, an advocate for billboard regulation in Florida and around the country, is meeting with the group at the Latin Cafe, at Biscayne Boulevard and 25th Street, at 8 a.m.

Barbara Bisno, a leader of the homeowners group, said Brinton will talk “about the two uber giant mega electronic billboards that are slated to be built atop the Adrienne Arsht Center’s new garage complex. He will discuss the fine points of billboard law, the appropriate approval process and/or the lack thereof, and his organization Scenic America, founded to limit billboard pollution in our cities and along our highways.”
